 "Bactick issue"? Can you elaborate?

 Backticks are a shell construct, so they shouldn't be applicable to GRASS
 7, where use of the shell should have been almost entirely eliminated.

 A vertical bar shouldn't be an issue for similar reasons. If it is an
 issue, likely candidates would be passing a string to subprocess.Popen()
 (or some interface built upon it) rather than a list, or possibly
 something like shlex in the GUI.

 That would be useful, but I'd suggest having the default value for
 G_OPT_F_SEP as "|" (literal vertical bar) rather than "pipe" until this
 gets resolved.

 That may require someone who can reproduce the problem to do some
 debugging to determine exactly where this is going wrong.

 I can't do it right now, as I've recently had to replace my Windows box
 and the new one doesn't have any development tools or libraries on it yet.
